Congressional Quarterly reported Thursday that West Virginia Congressman Nick Rahall has endorsed Barack Obama for president.
Rahall told CQ that, "the new voters he has brought to the process this year and the new direction, in my opinion, add up to what our country needs.”
Rahall indicated he gave Obama his endorsement privately up to a week and a half ago. Rahall is also a superdelegate and joins United States Senator Jay Rockefeller as the only supers in West Virginia to endorse Obama. So far, superdelegates Marie Prezioso and Belinda Biafore have endorsed Hillary Clinton.
Rahall acknowledged that his choice of Obama might not be popular with voters in his district, which includes Cabell County.
Other superdelegates, including Senator Robert Byrd and Governor Joe Manchin, have stayed neutral.

Nick Rahall Endorsed The Best Candidate This Country Can Have. The Current Economic Crisis is Largely the Republican fault, in as much as it happened as a result of 8 Years under the Bush/Cheney administration being in Control. The Republicans Caused the Crisis, Now In The Interest of Their OOwn Survival they Will Obstruct Any Attempts to Resolve it Successfully. Are the Republicans in any Position to Lecture President Obama on Fiscal Responsibilty? A Good Question to Ask the Republican Governors Why on Earth can they justify Not Accepting the Stimulus Money, It's aA very Dangerous Move the Money Is For Their Constituents and THE GOVERNORS HAVE NO RIGHT TO REFUSE THE MONEY. IT IS NOT MEANT FOR THEM. "WAS SOMEONE REALLY EXPECTING HONESTY FROM THE REPUBLICANS" THEY HAVE A DOUBLE STANDARD, "THEIR POCKETS FIRST THAN THE COUNTRY'S"

Obama is not the right person for president, look at his background. McCain's family has been citizens of the United Stated for more than one generation. We need to look toward someone that has military experience and is for the working poor. McCain understands and is in touch with the American people. He has experience with leadership in times of war and full knowledge of our policies. We need to open our eyes.
